Grade II listed building with original sash windows. A short walk or bus ride from the city centre, the pub comprises three charming rooms with cosy fireplaces replete with classic adverts. Pie, sausage and cheese-tasting festivals are held annually and there is occasional live entertainment. To the rear is a courtyard and beer garden. The renowned tree in the Gents is still growing despite being trimmed.
One locally brewed beer, four from the Greene King portfolio, and a varying cider are on sale.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
Built in 1860 but the current layout mainly dates from alterations in 1925. To the left of the central corridor (which has hatch service) is the main bar, which suffers from crude post-war interventions. The best rooms are the two snugs on the other side of the corridor - one in lounge-style with simple fireplace and benches, the other plainer with red-tiled floor and brick fireplace. A substantial tree grows within the outside gents!
Built in 1860, a small brick terraced pub with a yard in front. Alterations in 1925 by architect W A Hutchins removed the rear snug on the left hand side and rooms behind to create the current bar servery, private room behind and ladies toilet. A central corridor runs through the pub, with hatch service. The main bar is on the left, with post-war 'beam and plaster' alterations in the past and crude work around the servery. The best rooms are two snugs over the corridor on the right: (1) the front one is in lounge style, with a simple fireplace and benches around two walls; other benches may have been removed and replaced by a dado; (2) the rear snug is plainer, with a red-tiled floor and a brick fireplace; the benches are simple with a painted timber dado behind. Both snugs have TV, jukebox unit and games console, the clutter of which spoils the rooms somewhat. In the corner of the rear yard is the legendary Gents' toilet, which has a bank of three old urinals and a substantial tree inside!
